We love it when children learn about Malawi and are inspired to help. Our new education resource brings our passion and expertise on Malawi into lesson ideas, so more schools can get involved.
Over the years we have seen Malawi make a real impression on students, as they enjoy discovering the joys and challenges of life in a developing country.
Our new education pack has three sections to bring Malawi into the classroom:
Each section is packed with information, activities and personal stories which bring lessons to life. Links to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are a special feature, showing how Open Arms contributes to each of the 17 goals. Using this resource to introduce a different point of view and inspire action is a great way to build global citizenship values.
With learning materials aimed at KS2, activities can be simplified or extended for higher and lower levels. Here are some of the lesson ideas included:
We are inviting teachers to use the activities in class, or create their own lesson plans with the information, and join in with fundraising to give children in Malawi a good start to school.
Watch our film below to see what happens when we do our part.
Ready made activities, picture stories and information make it easy to engage a class with life in Malawi.

We all understand
the value of nursery schools, so Open Arms wants to make these available to 450
children this year. The good meals and early learning given there are a simple
way to change a child’s outlook for life. With only 26% of children in Malawi
completing primary school, every child we can reach is important.
We are incredibly grateful to St Peter’s CoE Primary School,
Harrogate, who have sponsored 27 children for the year. And Fuel for School are
raising funds at their Pay As You Feel market stalls and introducing lessons
about Malawi.
It costs just £12 to sponsor a child through nursery school for a whole year. We are making progress, but there is still more to do to give 450 children a good start to their education.
Can you invite a school to join in? When everyone does a bit it’s amazing what we can achieve!
Join in today to inspire learning and raise support!
